North Carolina

The Founding Fathers knew there would be corruption in the federal government, and they understood the possibility of the federal government centralizing power and becoming irresponsible. For these reasons, they created a process that would allow for amending the Constitution and for the states to reign in the federal government. And that process is a convention for proposing amendments.

Meet the NC legislators and learn how you can help bring some power back to North Carolina just as the Founders intended.

Attention North Carolina COS supporters, we will be delivering petition lists to every member of the House on Tuesday May 16, beginning at 10:00 AM EST and need all of the help we can get.

Please come to the Capital in Raleigh, 300 North Salisbury St. to help us let our Legislators know how many of their constituents support SR 36 by delivering lists of petition signers to each one.

We are half way to our goal in North Carolina after passing SR 36 through the Senate a few short weeks ago but now we need to pass the House. Now is the time.

Please join us in this historic effort to save our beloved Republic by asking every House member to support SR 36 and tell D.C. that we are taking our power back and putting ourselves in charge of our own destiny.

SUPER MEGA DOPPLER NEWS!!!!!

Senator DeMint will be joined in North Carolina by Senator Coburn! That’s right; we will have BOTH of them here to help us get to the finish line. How cool is that? Two legends at the same place at the same time for the same reason – to help us win in the NC House! We will have to wait one week in order to work out the schedules, but it will be well worth the wait. So please adjust the date that I gave you yesterday and make plans to join us in Raleigh! This will be HUGE!

Please note the DATE CHANGE…

WHAT: Rally with Senator Jim DeMint and Senator Tom Coburn WHEN: Tuesday or Wednesday - June 27 or 28, 2017 starting at 10:00 am WHERE: Legislative Office Building, 300 N. Salisbury St. Raleigh, NC (room to be announced) WHO: YOU and everyone you can bring! WHY: To save the Republic by making NC the 13th state to pass the COS Resolution

Schedules are being worked out and as soon as we know which day I will let everyone know. But get it on your calendar and please plan to be there. We need to show up in the hundreds that day! Bring somebody with you. Bring your family. Bring your neighbor. Bring a church group (get the bus!). But please don’t sit this one out. We need you. Thank you and God bless you.

It’s down to crunch time in North Carolina. We must have a hearing and a vote in the Senate Rules Committee before the crossover date of April 27 – or we are finished for this legislative cycle. We need your help to make sure we are given a chance to be heard and voted on.

Your participation is critical to the success of our efforts in North Carolina. Our children and grandchildren are counting on us to pass liberty on to them. Don’t neglect this and don’t delay!

PLEASE, take the time to participate in this call to action. It’s time for us to stand up and make our voices heard. We cannot allow this effort to be stopped because one Senator doesn’t think it is important. This is not to time to make excuses or to let someone else do the work. YOU are needed. Today, right now, please contact these members of the Senate Rules Committee. Here is a suggested text that you might use to get our point across. Please use your own words of feel free to use these; but make the call and send the email…

Dear Senator __________________,

As a member of the Rules Committee, I urge you to support Senate Resolution 36 (S36). Please urge the committee leadership to give this legislation a proper hearing and vote before the crossover date. I am counting on you to represent me and the thousands of North Carolinians who strongly support this resolution. Thank you for your work and your support.

Your name and town

There you go! Please contact ALL of these Senators. Copy and paste the emails. The phone calls will take about 30 seconds. Leaving a message is fine. Talking to someone in the office is great. Just CALL!

And thank you. Working together, we will get this done. We’ve worked hard to get this far; let’s move this legislation forward. Your calls and emails will be the difference!

Who decides? Them? Or us?

Calling all Tar Heels.

It's a new year and a fresh chance to pass the COS resolution.

Please join us as we take a stand for liberty. In 2017 NC will file the Article V Convention of States resolution. It is our time, and we must take advantage of it. So far, eight states have passed the COS resolution. We still need 26. And with a strategic plan in place, it is North Carolina's time to shine. HB2 and the marriage amendment are obvious talking points for NC. Also, 2nd amendment rights, Common Core, employment, voter ID laws. COS addresses these and more.

NC will file in both houses on the same day. We need all North Carolinians support. Talk to your legislators, county commissioners, relatives, and friends. Have them sign the petition and call their representatives and senators. There's power in numbers.

NC will take a stand and will not listen to the naysayers. We stand behind the Constitution. And not the tome that has been created by the supreme court precedents but the Constitution the Founders signed. There's a big difference.

What can you do to help?

Listen to the people around you in the grocery stores. Talk about Convention of States. Spread the word. Volunteer to be a District Captain at

Get ready for capital day. Meet us on the front steps of the capital on February 1st at 10:00 a.m. It's going to be a great year.
